There are two sides to every coin. We had a successful program for a few years with an AD that wasn't as good as our current AD. Football team was putting a few people in the stands, economy was much better. Now we have an AD working his butt off to increase the value of athletics, increase our brand, increase fan experience, and trying to improve this place but he's doing it with a bad product on the field, and in a down economy. I truely believe these things go hand in hand and he wil put our program on the map again

We'd very likely get a new coach in the $600K-$750K range, so there would be cost savings there.

Update: The buyout for firing Hud as of 12/31/2017 is $1.5MM.

Further update: University has the option to pay the full buyout within 60 days of letting Hudspeth go OR they can make the payments in monthly installments until the end of his contract (December 31, 2020).

Not directed at you lifetime, but everyone keeps talking about economy.. Look, what we need to do is be relevant and keeping good relationships with our supporters so that when the economy does come back, we can take off again. I don't necessarily buy the economy excuse, but for the sake of argument, being at odds with the fanbase will only retard the comeback YET AGAIN.

Build while we wait, stay in supporter's good graces, and when the markets come back, explode on to the scene.
